Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This analysis uses the 2003 American Time Use Study to examine variation in mothers’ time in housework, child care, and free time. The findings indicate that never married and divorced mothers spend more time in paid work and less time in housework compared with married mothers. Child care time does not vary by mothers’ marital status however, suggesting that all mothers make time-trade offs to preserve time with children. Contrary to the time-poverty thesis, however, married mothers have the least amount of leisure time, suggesting that gendered dynamics in couple households may reduce married mothers access to leisure as much as time constraints from employment and other obligatory time demands.
